Where do you hold money while you look for your next property?

[David D'Louhy]

Any tips on a liquid "investment" that would be advantageous for keeping funds that will be used to purchase the next investment property. 

It doesn't seem to make sense to keep it in a bank account earning nothing, and while I could move it to a savings account earning about 1%, I wasn't sure if you all had any better options that wouldn't put the capital at risk. 

I had thought perhaps whole life would be an option, but because I would just be starting out, the cash value in the first year would be only about 20% of what I would put into it. AND I found out that in my state that the cash value can be taken if sued.

Where do you put your money while waiting for the next investment?

Thanks in advance!
